4 Tips for iPad Tethering on the Road

I’ll admit it: now that I’m on my second iPad, I’m never going back. Combine that with LTE tethering, and my ministry travel for April was a breeze.

I was in Chicago, Washington DC, and Detroit for 2.5 weeks during April with the need to work on the road the entire stretch. Sure I had wifi sometimes, but one hotel was going to be a $20 extra daily fee (the nicer places always get you!), and the Missio Alliance conference where I was representing Great Commission Ministries had public wifi for 800 attendees all at once. Eesh: good luck connecting or getting much throughput. Not that this is unusual: at the Verge Conference or Exponential or others, I’ve usually found the available wifi to be iffy at best.

Personal Hotspot to the rescue! iPad tethering worked even better than I hoped for. Thinking of trying it? 4 tips:

Vine App for Mission Trips

Our college-focused church always does Spring Break mission trips, and this year we worked with the amazing Service Over Self to repair roofs in impoverished neighborhoods of Memphis, TN. We’re a Twitter friendly crowd, and so we had a hashtag already set for the trip (#ilifememphis). But the way we really started capturing the experience for ourselves and donors alike was Vine!

Eric Dye already reviewed the new Vine video app on ChurchMag which only allows 6-second videos in a clever Instagram-like app that hit #1 in the Apple App Store this past April!

It took us a while to get the hang of it but soon each work team had people dropping things on Vine to tell the story.

Felt App – Handwritten Cards are Back!

I used to be a huge fan of the old hand written card, but it seems like more and more I’m too pressed for time to write that card.  Or I forget about a friend’s birthday until 2 days before, run to Hallmark to score a semi-funny card…write all my sentimental birthday thoughts, go to the post office and buy a book of stamps even though I only need one (didn’t I just buy a book a month ago…wonder where that book is??) Then finally address the card and mail it…only to find out that the mail has already come for the day from my mailbox and it will just sit in there until tomorrow when it gets picked up at 4pm.  And thus won’t make it to my friend in time.

Is Photography Dead? [Infographic]

Photography has been around for nearly 200 years, with the first photo taken in 1826 and the first color photo in 1861. And there have been many changes along the way: camera’s have gotten better, less expensive and ultimately digital.

The explosion of mobile cameras has led to a drastic increase in the amounts of photos taken…but has also brought forth complains from ‘real’ photographers that the art of taking a good picture isn’t appreciated anymore. Photoshop and other editing possibilities have made it possible to make beautiful statements out of mediocre pictures. Continue Reading…

The 10 Digital Commandments

I came across an old blog post by David Murray on the 10 Digital Commandments. They were the ten most important takeaways from the book Digital Leader by Erik Qualman.

David provides full quotes and page numbers to each of these in his blog post, but for the most part they’re pretty self explanatory:
